B4J Question Problem with menubar to load layout [B4Xpage Project]

[universengo]

Hello experts!
I'm a newbie, looking for some help.
I use B4XPages Project to create an app with 1 main layout with menubar and sub-layouts corresponding to click menus.
For each layout, I create a corresponding B4Xpage module class to easily name components and code commands.
The problem is:
1) If I use it as Root.loadlayout("layoutxxx") to load the layouts from the respective click menu, it displays properly (i.e. both show the main layout's menubar and the child layout's form). However, I wouldn't know how to get the coded controls in the layout to work.
2) If I use the function B4Xpages.showpage("layoutxxx") then the layout will only show itself (and the main layout with the menu will be below), now the buttons from the module class will work OK.
=> The question is: I want to make it so that when I open the child layout, the menubar still exists as in case 1, and the buttons in the modules still work as in case 2.

In this guide, I see open Page with AddPage, ShowPage that Not have menubar and multi modules as my question.
Can you share your opinion ?

 

[teddybear]

I don't know how you designe mainlayout. I guess you should add a pane beneath menubar in mainlayout.
it looks like this

Root.LocadLayout("mainlayout")
Pane1.LocadLayout("layoutxxxx"). or b4xpage module .Initialize(Root) (See also B4XPagesNavBar)

You'd better post a small project.

Have you downloaded the source codes for the B4X Booklets ?
Did you look at the code of the B4XPagesNavBar project ?
This program has four B4XPages and a NavBar Class which is displayed on each B4XPage and allows to navigate between the pages.

I share my app and note in B4XMainpage
Case1: (have demo case1.jar)
- if I use these code then the layout1, layout2, layout3 will show ABOVE mainpage
- and these button on layout1, layout2, layout3 CAN use corresponding in classs module B4XPage1, B4XPage2, B4XPage3

Sub B4XPage_MenuClick (Tag As String)
    Select Tag
        Case "Layout 1"
            B4XPages.ShowPage("Layout 1")
        Case "Layout 2"
            B4XPages.ShowPage("Layout 2")
        Case "Layout 3"
            B4XPages.ShowPage("Layout 3")
    End Select
End Sub

Case2: (have demo case2.jar)
- if I use this code then layout1, layout2, layout3 will show as CHILD of mainpage
- and these button on layout1, layout2, layout3 CAN NOT use corresponding in classs module B4XPage1, B4XPage2, B4XPage3

Sub B4XPage_MenuClick (Tag As String)
    'clear layout
    Root.RemoveAllViews
    Select Tag
        Case "Layout 1"
            Root.LoadLayout("Layout1")
        Case "Layout 2"
            Root.LoadLayout("Layout2")
        Case "Layout 3"
            Root.LoadLayout("Layout3")
    End Select
    'load layout
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    B4XPages.SetTitle(Me, Tag & " - [Mainpage]")
End Sub

My Wish:
- I would like to use this Case 2 and can use the button as Case 1
- (can click button on layout1, layout2, layout3 corresponding in classs module B4XPage1, B4XPage2, B4XPage3 )

help me to to this. Thanks.

You should read the code of the B4XPagesNavBar carefully first, as NavBar, you also need to create menubar page, then on each page initializing(add) it.

In MyCode.rar you missed B4xMainPage code. To package a small project you should do

 'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=Project.zip

it is on top of B4xMainPage you can find it.

It's better to complete the project by yourself.

Thank to teddybear ! that's all things I need but Is there a way to make it smoother every time I open a new layout?
